From: "Piotrovskij, Vladimir [PRDBE]" Subject: RE: [NMusers] Probabilistic model Date: Tue, May 17, 2005 10:46 am Nick, I think it's a bit risky to treat 6 categories as a continuous variable. I usually do this with 10 categories or so. You are right saying that combining categories is not an ideal solution since some information is lost. However, modeling is always a way to compress information: instead of, say, 1000 observations you get just a few parameters. Best regards, Vladimir
